oyaloper 1 Posted August 18, 2021 (edited) Hi Guys I've been looking around all the newbie threads as i'm supposed to, and then on to various other members threads and posts, it's a great forum and very interesting. I see so many opinions on the different watches and brands, but is there an ultimate replica watch that has been made that is above all the rest. What watch and from what factory do you guys actually think it is, or is there even one that comes that close? Thanks Lee Edited August 19, 2021 by oyaloper Spelling Share this post Link to post
rm65453 108 Posted August 19, 2021 Definition of close varies brother. It all comes down to the wearer. Close to me might be crap for you. Am guessing you are researching to get your first purchase or something. Start with a decent TD here that fits your budget and go from there. Share this post Link to post

Thanks for the reply I have not long discovered this forum and was not aware of super replicas until very recently. I am amazed at just how good they look compared to the original, and not being that well off financially will only be able to purchase one or two at most, so was wanting to see what you guys think have been the watches that have been copied most accurately.

Thanks Lee Clue None are "ultimate" or "above the rest" AND none are Rolex - all Rolexes are full of RWI uber macro dissection flaws. Grab any of the Watch-U-Like TD's off here and beg them to get you a ZF Tudor Black Bay or a VSF Omega to suit your wrist size........ By default all replicas come close, some closer than others as I have bought 187 watches and spent £48,262 but still only have 7 in my watch box due to the inability to be satisfied with what I have got. The rest are distributed across the globe. However there comes a day and that day is close. 4 Share this post Link to post

Wow 187 watches! for £48k you could have gotten a few genuine ones I see a few of the Rolex watches having issues after a few months, is this common? Will take a look at the VSF Omega and ZF Tudor Thanks for the reply BadApple 1 Share this post Link to post

He just buys the same watches over and over and over again (I don't even mean updated models/versions - literally the identical watch). Then he gets bored of his purchase, so sells it M2M, then a couple of months later he regrets selling then and so buys the very same watch again and the whole ridiculous process starts over. Honestly, the guy's a nut job. 1 Share this post Link to post

BoobBandit 1,311 Posted August 19, 2021 All the reps except the Rolex ones are crap. If it wasn’t that everyone had a hard on for Rolex to begin with, no rep watch business from the get go. (Runs for the hills) 1 Share this post Link to post
trailboss99 994 Posted August 19, 2021 In terms of out-of-the-box accuracy, I'd say the Cartier Santos 100 "repligen", stands head and shoulders above all but chances are that actually was backdoor gen parts including movement. Honorable mention goes to the later production Noob Pam 112s and the TC V6 with the KH dial which was about as perfect as a sub rep will ever be without gen parts. None of the above are available any longer. 2 Share this post Link to post

Stick on a Tudor, Omega, Breitling, IWC etc.... and the pure bling and lack of fake perception make everything BUT Rolexes to be THE best reps. So to summarise - no THE best reps are anything but Rolex and to confirm this see any NBWIG list. 4 Share this post Link to post

Sold it so fuck off....... was a very well made watch if it wasn't a Rolex. I'll stick to real super-reps. PS - I'll leave "pulling off" to you thanks 1 Share this post Link to post
